5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wire Stripper I have ever owned!, November 12, 2007

This review is from: Klein 1011 Wire Stripper Cutter Solid and Stranded Wire Blue 6 1/8 Inches (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this item originally back in 1996 when I was a Telephone and Video technician and have been using since still using for 90%+ of my wiring needs.

When I originally bought the tool I used it for cutting 50 pair cables on down without issue. After I stopped being a tech I continued to use the tool from everything from a wire stripper, wire and rope cutter, pliers (it has a plier head), to even cutting machinist wire, nails, and smaller bolts with it.

After over 11 years of use (6 of which heavy) the spring still has tension and I can still strip wires from 20 to 10 gauge effectively as well as be used with practice to strip coax efficiently. I sort of did in the cutting mechanism so it is not as sharp by cutting bolts and nails with it.. but I can still cut most cables with little effort.

This review is from: Klein 1011 Wire Stripper Cutter Solid and Stranded Wire Blue 6 1/8 Inches (Tools & Home Improvement)

I needed a pair of wire strippers, so I asked my Uncle who has been in the electronics industry for 50 years. He recommended these and Klein in general, and all I can say is wow. Tools aren't made like this anymore. Very sharp, solid, and well made. 10 to 20 gauge, great for most projects, especially at home. Stay away from the auto-strippers, nothing like these....It also has a wire cutter, and a plier tip/head, wonderful little tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Stripper for NM (Romex) Cable, April 18, 2006

I bought two of these cutters, one for 12 gauge and one for 14 gauge wire. This handy stripper has a little notch in it which lets you cut the sheath part of NM or romex cable without nicking the conductors. You then just pull off the sheathing. This is great for wiring jobs where you need to strip off lots of sheathing, like panel installations and installing receptacles, switches, ect. No more wasted time with trying to strip off the sheath with a knife, not to mention cut fingers! A must have tool for anyone working with wiring.
